The circuit announced on Tuesday that three-day tickets start at $159. Grandstand seating, also sold as three-day tickets, are priced at $269 to $499 per person.

All three-day reserved grandstand bleacher seats and general-admission tickets include round-trip shuttle bus transportation from three designated park-and-ride locations in the greater Austin area.

“Formula One fans and motorsports enthusiasts around the world have eagerly anticipated this news, and we're excited to launch public ticket sales for our inaugural event in the next few days,” the circuit chief marketing and revenue officer, Geoff Moore, said. “We have options to fit every pocketbook.

“Information provided by the public was crucial as we finalized prices for the 2012 Formula One United States Grand Prix. We received fan input from extensive customer surveys and through market research from other Grands Prix and comparable premier, international, multiday sporting events. In the final analysis, we wanted to make this event affordable to F1 fans around the country. Whether they want a reserved seat or the freedom to explore our expansive facility with a general-admission ticket, they will enjoy great views and amenities.”
